Mike Masser Returns After Four-Year Hiatus with New Album 5

After four years away from the recording studio, hard rock musician Mike Masser returns with his fifth full-length album, 5 - a bold, emotionally charged record that marks both a creative and personal milestone in his musical journey.

Masser's musical resurgence began three years ago with a series of albums that explored his evolution as an artist. His 2019 release Desert Sun saw him step away from the heavy rock sound he was known for, experimenting with more mellow tones and atmospheric melodies. He followed that with One More Shot and Let It Ride, both returning to a more classic rock and southern rock feel. In 2023, True Grit reaffirmed his roots with a straightforward hard rock sound that reconnected him with his early influences.

With 5, Masser takes that foundation and builds something even more personal and unfiltered. The album reflects on themes of loss, perseverance, and self-discovery, drawing heavily from his own life experiences, including the passing of his best friend and his father's battle with Alzheimer's disease.

"This album comes from a very real place," said Masser. "It's about facing life head-on - the good, the bad, and everything in between - and turning that into something that connects with people."

The record opens with Wolves in the Whiskey, a hard-hitting track that sets the tone for what follows: unapologetic, guitar-driven rock anchored by raw emotion. Songs like No Sin and Omen deliver gritty, riff-heavy power, while Silence Speaks and Run showcase Masser's reflective side. The album closes with Morning After You, a haunting finish that lingers long after the final note.

In addition to his original work, 5 features three reimagined cover songs that Masser has adapted to fit the album's sound and message. These tracks further demonstrate his ability to honor rock's past while pushing it forward in his own distinctive way.

Produced with a focus on clarity and intensity, 5 captures the essence of hard rock while offering a modern edge. The guitars are heavy but precise, the drums hit with purpose, and Masser's vocals carry both grit and vulnerability - hallmarks of an artist confident in his identity and purpose.

5 stands as a testament to Mike Masser's resilience, growth, and unwavering commitment to authenticity. It's not just a comeback - it's a statement.
